Smaller ring gauges = less flavor complexity?

There's less (or none) volado leaf in thinner ring gauge cigars and volado is used as filler to make combustion. The leaf itself does not have much flavor.

Typically bigger ring gauge (and long) cigars aren't supposed to be a heavy full flavored as they are be being smoked for hours.

Interesting. I always wondered how they could maintain the same/similar flavor profile in such drastically different RG cigars of the same blend. That makes sense.
